Awe-inspiring footage has emerged which captures a pod of whales weaving through the ocean right underneath someone on a paddle board in Hawaii.

The aerial video, shot off the coast of Maui, shows the lone human absolutely dwarfed by the group of North Pacific humpback whales - one of which appears to nearly collide with the board before hovering under it then switching course.

The video, which has been viewed more than three million times since it was uploaded to Facebook earlier this year, was shot by a photographer under the name of Uheheu.

According to Uheheu, who has been documenting whales in Hawaii over a number of months, the footage captures four 30-ton whales.
